DEVICES, FRAMEWORKS AND METHODOLOGIES FOR ENABLING USER-DRIVEN DETERMINATION OF BODY SIZE AND SHAPE INFORMATION AND UTILISATION OF SUCH INFORMATION ACROSS A NETWORKED ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A scanning booth with a user interface. The interface receives user identification or registration data and provides instructional prompts for the user to assume various predefined positions, stances and postures. Image data of each pose is captured using scanning devices in the booth. A three dimensional avatar is generated based on the mapping or morphing of image data to a generic avatar model. Data from the generated model is transmitted to a server where it is stored in a database for later account application in, for example, garment sizing, display or fitting, or health monitoring.
